The wait is on

We are waiting.   

How our adoption process works is that every step we are now taking is leading us to a:  referral.  This means that once our (dossier), documents we just completed, gets sent to China,  it gets translated and authenticated and reviewed.   This takes about 3 weeks.  After that, we are ready to get matched with our child.

Our files get assigned to a team that will go through all the waiting children and they will "match us" with a little boy.  

However, we cannot get to this point, until we have the money owed, raised.  We currently need:  $2556.00
Our paperwork will stay at the global headquarters in Michigan until the money is raised.  This is hard, because we want so badly to see our little boy.  Who is he?  Who has God chosen for us to be son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin and friend?

Current Fundraiser:   We are collecting TENNIS SHOES( teen & adult sizes ONLY) .  We get money raised by the weight of the shoes we collect.  If we collect 500 shoes, we could raise $750!  This is HUGE for us.  Please consider donating.  Shoes must be clean, good condition.  We have a drop box at my store, or you can contact me and we would be willing to come and collect them from you.   If you have a unique way you can help us collect, please do!   The more it weighs, the more we raise.  

We  only have 5 more weeks to collect 10 boxes or 500 pair!  We need to have shoes put in U-Haul style shipping boxes (extra large).   If you want to purchase a box and put it in a location to collect for us, we would gladly come and pick it up.    

Thank you for following our journey, praying for us and our little boy, and supporting us.   
Soon, we will be able to see his precious little face.
